Presence Sacred Heart Assisted Living sits at 519 N Main St in Avilla, Indiana, and it's been in business for about 14 years, so folks around the area have come to know it as a place with several levels of care for seniors, all under one roof, which some people call a continuing care retirement community or CCRC, meaning you can move in while you're still pretty active, maybe choosing one of the apartments or duplex units, and then if you ever need more help, there are assisted living, skilled nursing, or even memory care options right there on the same grounds. The community provides both independent living and assisted living, so seniors can get as much or as little help as they need, and they won't have to move if their needs change. The staff, many inspired by Catholic roots through Provena Health and Ascension Living Mission, look after daily needs like meals, medication management, bathing, and getting dressed, while helping folks stay independent, which people seem to appreciate. There's round-the-clock nursing staff for medical needs, especially for those who need skilled care, rehabilitation, or even wound care, and there's help available for things like laundry and housekeeping too, so you don't have to worry about chores piling up. There's a special secure area with 24-hour staff for residents with Alzheimer's or dementia, where specialized memory care programs offer memory-enhancing activities and support that fits their needs. Residents get access to prepared meals each day, and there are social activities, educational opportunities, religious services, group outings, and scheduled transportation if you need to get around town. The place is designed to be safe, with comfortable apartments and common spaces, and the staff tries to keep everything clean and well-maintained. You'll find a range of health services, including hospice, podiatry care, therapies like physical and speech, respite care, and even emergency services when that kind of help is needed. With flexible floor plans, access to retreat stays, and attention to the mind, body, and spirit, the community offers a secure and comfortable choice for seniors who want to remain active and involved as they grow older, all at 519 N Main St, Avilla, Indiana.

Comfortable care, friendly staff, concerns
I moved into a clean, updated private two-bedroom and immediately felt calm - nice kitchen, outdoor access, no offensive odors and quick, personal help (they even mounted my TV and brought ice water when I arrived). The food is good with daily specials, the dining room, beauty shop and chapel are pleasant, and activities are engaging (bingo, entertainers, bus outings, school visits), plus transportation, rehab, gym, podiatrist and a Thursday hair salon. Staff and caregivers are caring, professional and responsive - maintenance helped hang pictures and doctors pay attention - but since the ownership change I've noticed fewer CNAs, longer wait times and some amenities removed. Overall I feel safe and cared for and have peace of mind, though I am watching safety issues (an unlocked area and slippery floors from humidity; safety strips are planned).
